PowerPlay - Fee Earner Bison Solicitors Employee Review

Thank you for your comment. I am sorry that your experience at Bison had not been a positive one. The work we do is highly demanding and it’s not for everyone. As a new recruit or fee earner in the relevant department, there is an expectation you should at least possess a reasonable standard of legal knowledge and legal training at University. In addition to a law degree, you would have also attended a postgraduate degree such as LPC or a BVTC in order to work at Bison. In other word, the assumption is that you are legally knowledgeable, capable, competent at some level, and hopefully possess some common sense. I appreciate that everyone is different and would require different level of support and guidance. But there must be a base level. Unfortunately, the base level is high and should remain high due to the type and nature of the work we do. You will agree that at Bison we operate on a simple supervision structure- one supervisor supervises no more than 2 juniors. I am somewhat surprised by your comment regarding lack of supervision as I often receive complaints from colleagues that I micro manage too much! A career in law is fast pace and changeable all the time. Ability to adopt to changes is crucial. But yes, I do agree that continuity is important, so will take on board your comment on this issue. With reference to mood swing- Mariah Carey. I am now on mood stabilizer so fingers crossed. Love DT
